Norwich City’s Alex Pritchard is close to joining Huddersfield Town for £11 million, the Sun reports.

Pritchard is said to have agreed four-and-a-half-year deal with the Terriers, despite interest from Bournemouth in recent months.

It is claimed that Norwich and Huddersfield are ‘still locked in negotiations over the finer details’, but manager David Wagner hopes to have the attacking midfielder on board by Town’s Premier League visit of West Ham United on Saturday.

The Sun reported last week that Huddersfield have already had two bids turned down for Pritchard, with the Eastern Daily Press reporting on Tuesday that a £5 million offer has been knocked back.

A former England Under-21 international, Pritchard has impressed with eight goals and 12 assists in 43 games for Norwich, although he has played only nine times this season, owing to injury.

Should he leave for the John Smith’s Stadium, the 24-year-old would be the latest in a long line of high profile Norwich players to depart since the end of last term.

Pritchard could replace Kasey Palmer at Huddersfield, after the Chelsea youngster’s loan spell came to a premature end last Tuesday.

He would be the Terriers’ second signing of the January window, after defender Terence Kongolo, who has arrived on a half-season loan from AS Monaco.

Is £11 million a fair price for the Norwich City man?
